Currently Working On

I am managing the relationship with the Marketing company hired to deliver some materials for us.

The Ops Team and I discussed our current relationship with them, and the deliverables they have provided us.

We made decisions on these pieces, and recommendations on creative brief adjustments.

We met with the Marketing company this week, and communicated our decisions to them.

I am currently coordinating a webinar with the Marketing company, to communicate out their recommendations to us to our community.

Projects in SalesForce

All existing project meta data has been entered into SalesForce.

The challenge now is implementing a workflow that will help me manage the data and the relationships between each piece of information.

I am currently working with Kate to figure out a short term solution for this.

The long term solution is to build SalesForce portals that will allow project leaders the ability to self manage their data.

Women in Security Event Module

I met with several volunteers at the New York City volunteer meeting for AppSec USA 2013.

Some of these volunteers are interested in bringing the Women in Security event module back to AppSec USA this year.

I helped collect volunteer information, created a mailing list, and I am managing the conversation to help get this event module to the conference this year.

We are currently developing guidelines and entry requirements for new candidates.

Projects at AppSec EU

Several members of the Ops Team and I met with Dirk, the local events planner for AppSec EU 2013.

We decided on bringing the Open Source Showcase, and the OWASP Projects Track (OPT) to the conference this year.

Dirk already has speakers lined up for the OPT, and I am putting together a "Call for Entries" for the OSS.
